Kids yo, they be assholes sometimes.
Same bitch, DH sucks at helping out at night. I had LO duty Sunday morning. It was another night where she finally went to sleep at 11:00 (normal bedtime is 8) then was up at 12:30a. Finally got her to sleep at 3, and she woke up at 6:30. I dozed in the recliner (I cant fully sleep when I have her that close) with her for a few hours before DH finally woke up. When he did he stayed in the bedroom and watched a movie instead of helping with LO so that maybe I could get a few more uninterrupted hours of sleep. Then last night LO was up again and would not go to sleep at 2:30 I was laying down for the umpteenth time hoping LO would finally stay asleep. When she started bitching in her crib he rolls over and asked if she needed her Paci. Really do you think I have not tried that? I lost my shit, yelled at him and stormed out of the room. I ended up sleeping in the recliner with LO since that was the only way she would sleep for longer than a 30 minute stretch. Now I am not proud of how I handled it last night but come on.
I guess my bitch is that I get tired of being LO's sole night time caretaker. Even during the day he is useless. Hope it gets better as she gets older!
SLEEP, NO SLEEP.
It's Monday.. I'm back to work after a week off, I miss LO already.
MIL has LO today, I cant wait to hear what she has to say when I get home. She's ALWAYS telling me what I NEED to do for LO . You need to do this.. you need to do that... IT ALWAYS SOMETHING !!

She got two cats a few years ago. We were never allowed to have pets, but she swore to my mother she was moving out so it was only temporary. Yeah, not so much. She refuses to take care of them. The litter box gets changed maybe once a week. It makes the whole house fucking reek. Now I come downstairs to find one of them shit all over the throw blanket on the couch.
I threw the blanket in her room and shut the door. I will not clean up after them. I already clean up everyone's dishes and trash, not to mention take care of my kid and cook dinner most nights, and up until recently my own schooling to deal with. She does nothing.
I seriously hope I get this job, because we really need to move out of this fucking house.
I don't know how you do it !!! I look up to you !!

The bitch: Around 4am-ish the Angelcare movement sensor decided to have a false alarm. She had smooshed herself into a corner of the crib and I think it couldn't pick her up. It was only the 10-second beep, but was enough to wake her up
The lesson: Getting rid of the sensor pad. She is almost 6 months and the SIDS risk is low at this point. At this point we are much more likely to have false alarms than an actual issue since we are following all the AAP recs. Now I just need to hope that she won't wake up at 4am again tonight expecting food after getting fed last night (GRRR @ DH).
My bitch...I worked late every night last week. Including leaving work Friday at 5:30pm to drive an hour home to pick up LO only to drive back to work and stay until 10pm!!! Then I had to be in the office at 8am this morning for a call which meant baby girl got dropped off at the sitter at 6:45 and then I got to work and the call was cancelled!
Is it Friday yet?
Me: 28 DH: 27
I had this happen recently when I did have the twins with me. They even look younger than 7 months and the lady still congratulated me on expecting another. Sadly I'm now torn between more motivation to work out and eating all the cookies
Also, teething. That's all.
It did recently go down when my school insurance ran out. When I was covered in school we paid $110 a month for the three of us because it was secondary coverage for me.
I don't really know why it would be more expensive for you. I mean my H's income isn't super high but it's not like he's making minimum wage.
My current employer, and most of my previous employers have a plan that is cost-free to the employee. They also have upgraded plans (we don't require) for a small fee, or a super upgrade for a slightly larger fee.
The super is currently only about $250 / month for the family.
I guess things may be different in Alberta too (that's where you are, right?). I am still fully covered by my plan while on mat leave with no charge to me. (I know....lucky!!)
DH also has coverage. I think he pays $50 for our family coverage.
So far. We have only paid $100 for some dental work that wasn't covered by our plans. Everything else is covered. (The two plans cover all prescription drug expenses)
Hotel rooms suck when it comes to lighting. Most rooms have a light or two and its too dim to do anything like read. This room has 6 lamps (not a big room). They are all so bright by themselves that it might as well be daylight in here.
I was hoping one would be dim.
I just want a little nightlight.
But 1 year mat leave.
I didn't expect my insurance to continue, but it does.
And to all those in the states, I know things are different there, but if we had to pay $500 or more per month for coverage through work, we likely would not have insurance and would just pay OOP.
(Hospital and regular doc visits are covered by provincial health care, but prescriptions and paramedical are not...dental isn't covered either, but $200-300 twice a year for cleanings and X-rays is cheaper than a couple hundred a month)
